            Bug ID: 17101
           Summary: [rfe] timeout for stap
           Product: systemtap
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: runtime
          Assignee: systemtap at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: mcermak at redhat dot com

I think it would be useful to implement some kind of run time limit. An option
like "--timeout N" and/or some environmental variable with similar meaning
would be handy.

Such an environmental variable might help when running testsuites. Exporting it
would be sufficient to adjust the stap behaviour during the testsuite run.

Also a check for inserted kernel modules + some cleanup might be performed in
the end, so that subsequent testcases can start running on top of a clean
table.
